Celebrate Earth Day in Montgomery County

The Montgomery County Volunteer Center, in collaboration with other partners, is supporting Earth Day with volunteer projects throughout the month of April. Most activities fall on Saturday and/or Sunday, April 26th or 27th, but other days in April are also welcome. Nonprofit agencies, community groups, businesses, schools, clubs, religious groups, and others are all encouraged to host volunteer activities for Earth Day. All participating groups will receive an official certificate of appreciation, signed by Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett. To find out about this Seasons of Service effort, or to sign up to volunteer or lead a group project, visit www.montgomerycountymd.gov/volunteer.
